Why the fuck does AVClub look like Windows 8? This redesign sucks.

@EvelKareebel:disqus  - Monsieur Lecoq was the main character of some old French detective stories that pre-date Sherlock Holmes. I may be a 39-year-old woman, but inside my head, I'm a 12-year-old boy, so a detective named Mister Cock amused me.
